He's ranting nonsense so it's hard to figure out wants going on.


Millions of Seashells apearing every day on Clifton beach, karachi, Pakistan.
Just Last year in March 2009 " Dolphins Beaching " happened here on Pakistani Beaches.
Wat is surprising is that not a single private TV channel has covered this huge Event, No discussion forums on this Topic.

5. While he's right about the geomagnetic polar shift
which is supposed (guesstimated) to take place some time in the next 400 years, the dead and dying clams, mussels and scallops in Pakistan are likely being killed by a combination of warming and pollution, the latter creating oxygen free dead zones where filter feeders like shellfish starve to death.

Those shellfish are dead. Tapping on the shell would make live shellfish close immediately. Those didn't.

9. Perhaps this year's record breaking global temperature increase proved to be a tipping point
for that region?



http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38263788/ns/us_news-environment/

Jan.-June warmest first half of year on record

2010 tops 1998 temps; question now is whether 12 months will break 2005 record for warmest year

10. Dude is a little wacky...
Edited on Sat Jul-17-10 04:05 PM by SkyDaddy7
Claiming oil lubricates the continents and a mega quake created the Grand Canyon..."WO-WO!"

However, I would love to hear what a Marine Biologist would have to say about this?

My guess is pollution & warming as well. I seriously doubt the shifting of the poles would do this...These animals are don't migrate. But what do I know...That is why I want to hear what an expert would say.

6. Just swap the word Muslim for Christian
at the start of the video and it sounds like he's talking about America and BP.

11. Any Ocean Scientist on this Site?
Has this ever happen before in recorded history? What are some the other possible explanations. This is very strange, to me. Maybe it's common in places? I just don't know.

13. I saw another thread on this
yesterday and there was an article from the oxford journal of something that said mollusks do use magnetic poles to navigate. Here is the link.
